Switching or Replacing Text

[Kracker]

Let's say in the text box the user enters Hello World. How can I have it switch the letters. For example the letter h will be c, e will be a, l would be g, and so on. You would end up with something like Cagg....

maybe you can use string parser 2, but I don't know if you can manipulate each letter separately

You could run a fastloop when they finish entering the text in the field and then swap out the letters. But if you want it to happen WHILE they are typing in the letter, I don't know if that is possible.

you could use the left, right and mid functions

eg.
String = "hello world"

String = "c" + right$(String, 10)

String = left$(String, 1) + "a" + mid$(String, 2, 9)

You can also combine it with Len to get the string length of the input so its more dynamic.

Otherwise look into the "Substring Replace" extension. It's for replacing many occurrances within a string.

For example, I had a comma delimited file, and I wanted to replace all the commas with spaces, so I used substring replace "," with " ". The entire string is then updated with the newly replaced characters.

The extension is pretty easy to learn if you look at the examples that come with it.

Substring Replace is probably the easiest option. It's designed for this exact task of replacing strings within other strings. It might just get confusing if you have all of the letters of the alphabet.
